So, online dating is relatively new to me and I read all the online dating safety guides and they all say, don't give out too much personal information, including your phone number until you have met them in person. What are your experiences? Do you give out your number right away when they ask to text? If not, how do you communicate?

I signed up for an app called burner that lets me have multiple anonymous numbers. For an unlimited plan I think it is $4.99 a month. I have to look into it further. I was just trying out the free trial. What about email addresses? When they ask you to email them rather than chat on here? I am always nervous about how much information they can get about you through your phone or email. I have just had too many scammers lately.
